Safety Information

Always follow the assembly instructions carefully to ensure the bed frame is stable and secure. Be cautious around sharp edges to prevent injury. Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened securely before use and periodically check for looseness. Do not allow children to jump on the bed frame as this may compromise its structural integrity.

Setup & Assembly

The ZINUS Dori Platform Bed Frame is designed for easy assembly. All parts, tools, and instructions are conveniently packed within the zippered compartment located in the back of the headboard. It is recommended to assemble the bed frame with at least two people for optimal ease and safety.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and locate the zippered compartment on the back of the headboard. Unzip it to retrieve all bed frame components, hardware, and assembly tools.
2. Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included assembly manual. Typically, this involves connecting the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware.
3. Install Support Legs: Attach the center support legs to the main frame as indicated in the manual to ensure proper weight distribution and stability.
4. Place Wood Slats: Lay the wooden slats across the frame. Many Zinus models feature a velcro system to keep slats securely in place and prevent shifting or noise.
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened using the provided ratchet tool.

Operating Instructions

The ZINUS Dori Platform Bed Frame is designed to provide stable and comfortable support for your mattress. No box spring is required, as the sturdy wood slats offer ample support. Simply place your Queen-sized mattress directly onto the assembled frame.

• Mattress Placement: Carefully place your Queen-sized mattress onto the wooden slats. Ensure it is centered and aligned with the bed frame.
• Weight Distribution: For optimal longevity and support, distribute weight evenly across the mattress. Avoid concentrating heavy loads on specific areas.
• Headboard Use: The padded wingback headboard provides comfortable back support for sitting up in bed.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your ZINUS Dori Platform Bed Frame.

• Cleaning Upholstery: Spot clean the upholstered fabric using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the headboard and frame with a soft, dry cloth.
• Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws and tighten them if they have become loose over time. This ensures continued stability and prevents squeaking.
• Under-bed Cleaning: Due to the 7.9-inch under-bed clearance, a slim vacuum attachment or mop can be used for cleaning the floor beneath the bed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ZINUS Dori Platform Bed Frame, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises:

  Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, especially where the side rails connect to the headboard and footboard, and the center support legs.

• Mattress Shifting:

  Ensure the wooden slats are properly seated in their designated positions and that the velcro strips (if applicable) are securely attached to the mattress or mattress protector. If the mattress still shifts, consider using a non-slip mattress pad.

• Instability/Wobbling:

  Verify that all legs are firmly attached and making full contact with the floor. Check for any bent or damaged components. If damage is present, contact customer support for replacement parts.
